Adding someone to groups in the my.atlas directory

How to add someone to groups or committees in the my.atlas directory

We have many administrative groups and committees setup in the directory for SCS, ChBE and Chemistry.  Follow the steps below to add (or remove) someone from a group or committee: 

  1. Log in to https://my.atlas.illinois.edu/diredit (or click on Manage Directory if you're already in the my.atlas portal)

  2. Unit:  Select  the appropriate department (e.g. "School of Chemical Sciences”)

    Directory Groups steps 1-4

  3. Is the person and the group in the same department? 

    • If YES: Search for the person you want to add to a group.  You can search by NetID or name

    • If the GROUP exists in a different department than the user, uou will need to add the user to the "Auxiliary Users" group for the group's department.  To do that, see https://answers.uillinois.edu/scs/104364
      • Example: Adding someone from Chemistry to the "SCS Information Services Steering Committee (scs-committee-infosvc)" requires adding them to the SCS Auxiliary Users group, then adding them to the "SCS Information Services Steering Committee"

  4. Open the person's Directory Role Entry by clicking on their name in the list.  If the person you searched for has multiple directory entries, select the appropriate role for the committee or group assignment.  If you just added someone to the "Auxiliary Users" group, select that directory role.
    • NOTE: Only groups from the department that the directory role exists in will be available for that directory role.  So you can add SCS groups to a Chemistry faculty member's "SCS Auxiliary Users" role but not to their Chemistry faculty directory role 
    • Example: If a faculty member is part of the departmental administration, they will have both a "Faculty" role and an "Administrative Faculty" role

  5. Look for the "Groups" heading

    • Click the [+] sign to verify the addition
    • Click “Save Changes

  7. Removing a member from a group or committee:

    • Click "Save Changes"
